NEW ORLEANS — Three ride-share drivers were carjacked while picking up potential customers in different parts of New Orleans on Wednesday.
According to NOLA.com, the carjackings happened in St. Roch, Seventh Ward and near City Park.
NOPD said on Thursday they are investigating each incident separately, and they have not determined if they are related.
In St. Roch, an Uber driver was picking up a rider in the 1600 block Spain Street after midnight.
Two men apparently approached the driver at gunpoint while he waited in his car for a potential customer.
In the Seventh Ward, a ride-share driver was carjacked Wednesday at 10:50 p.m. on the 2200 block of D'Abadie Street. A man with a gun came up to him and ordered him out of the car.
And in the St. Bernard area near City Park, a ride-share driver was forced out of a car when one of the people he was picking up told him to get out of the car and leave his wallet and phone.
